Princenthal surveys films and videos (by Omer Fast, Julia Meltzer and David Thorne, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Leslie Thornton, and Matthew Buckingham) that, taken together, situate post-9/11 conditions within a broader geopolitical and historical context. Fast's The Casting (2007) juxtaposes narratives from two soldiers: One, relays the story of a soldier's encounter with a "troubled woman" while on leave in Germany, the other, of a soldier who, while on duty in Iraq, shoots through a windshield of a car at a roadblock, killing or seriously injuring a passenger in the backseat. Meltzer and Thorne's—We will live to see these things, or, five pictures of what may come to pass (2007),Not a matter of if but when (2006), and epic (2008) — examines the effects of the war in Iraq through a combination of documentary and improvisational narrative. Ahtila's Where is Where? (2008) juxtaposes scenes of breakfast table conversation between a Finnish woman and Death with black and white (staged) scenes of the armed Algerian uprising in the late 1950s. Thornton's, Let me Count the Ways 10…9…8…7…6 (2004-) is a montage of archival material, including family movies that counts down to many things beginning with the bombing of Hiroshima. Buckingham's Muhheakantuck–Everything Has a Name (2004), cross-temporally juxtaposes footage and voice over narration to produce a multi-perspective narrative that frames the colonization of New York (and by extension North America) as a business undertaking.
